Qin Yanling has been holding court for four days because of Murong Xueqi's matter, and the officials in the court are in a state of panic.

They never imagined that Qin Yanling would miss court for four days because of a woman. They rushed to the Imperial Study and knelt down, eager to see Qin Yanling. But unexpectedly, Little Li had already arrived at their location.

"Officials, you should all return. His Majesty will not see you. Please try to understand His Majesty at this time."

Xiao Li frowned as he tried to persuade the surrounding officials to leave the area.

Unexpectedly, this group of officials had no intention of leaving. Instead, they began exchanging polite greetings. Even Prime Minister Xu had arrived. Upon arrival, Prime Minister Xu immediately asked Xiao Li, "I want to know one thing: Is His Majesty truly unwilling to see us all? Even though we are all here..."

Little Li had already told them that this was indeed the case; he truly did not want to see them.

They must have felt a little frustrated at that moment.

Ultimately, the group of officials had no choice but to leave.

"I am very sorry, I really wanted to help you officials, but His Majesty doesn't want to see you at all right now, it's just..."

Xiao Li Zi understood just how devastating Murong Xueqi's departure was for Qin Yanling, especially since Murong Xueqi had been by Qin Yanling's side throughout this time.

More importantly, Murong Xueqi understood Qin Yanling's actions very well and could be considered a confidante. Now that her confidante has left, it would be very difficult for anyone to accept.

The officials around them had no choice but to stand up, and they all left the palace and came outside.

"I think we should talk to Her Highness about this. As His Majesty's sister, I believe His Majesty would be willing to listen if His Highness were to persuade him."

Prime Minister Xu did indeed fall into deep thought at this moment, because for him, he didn't want to search for Qin Yu, yet for some reason, he felt a certain...

The important thing is that Prime Minister Xu has always had opinions about Qin Yu's previous actions.

Qin Yu was staying in the Princess's residence, leisurely eating grapes and listening to the man in black reporting on matters of the court. She felt that her younger brother had indeed become somewhat decadent during this period.

For some reason, Qin Yu felt a little guilty now, because it was Qin Yu who came up with the idea...

Murong Xueqi happened to arrive at Qin Yu's location. "Your Highness, I am truly grateful for your care during this time. My health has improved somewhat compared to before. Although I don't have many days left, I am not as unwell as before."

Qin Yu decided to send Murong Xueqi back to her hometown.

Qin Yu raised her head and looked at Murong Xueqi, wondering why she would see the Qin Yu from her previous life in this life.

Murong Xueqi suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Qin Yu in front of everyone. This action startled Mo Yun, Lin Ruohua, and the others, who had never expected this...

"What are you doing? It's quite surprising to me. I don't want you kneeling here. I want you to walk here with your head down instead of with your body bowed."

"Your Highness, the reason I kowtow to you today is because you have helped me so much. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave the palace and would still be working here for Prime Minister Xu."

In the end, Qin Yu decided to personally escort Murong Xueqi out of the city. After all, given Qin Yu's status, even if someone wanted to settle things here, they would probably be deterred by Qin Yu's identity and wouldn't dare to leave. Qin Yu directly dismissed Mo Yun and prepared a sedan chair. Finally, they arrived at the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw Qin Yu and their arrival, and they all stopped them.

"Do you think you can just look at the princess like that? I advise you to step aside, or the princess will get angry and you'll regret it."

Unexpectedly, the soldiers at the city gate were shouting loudly, saying that no one knew if Qin Yu was sitting inside. Upon hearing this, Qin Yu lifted the curtain and coldly stared at the soldier at the city gate.

The soldier was startled and immediately swallowed hard.

"Now do you see me? Do you still want to ask me anything here? My patience is limited. If you want to..."

The soldier hurriedly said, "They must have seen it all."

They immediately knelt down and bowed to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu had definitely not told anyone about his success in leaving the city. Now, after leaving the city gate, Qin Yu arrived at a rather desolate place, where someone was waiting to meet him.

Qin Yu understood that his leaving the city gates would definitely be known to people in the imperial court, and the consequences would be unimaginable once the officials found out.

To avoid this from happening, Qin Yu had to be extremely careful.

"After this journey, it is estimated that many years will pass before we meet again. I am very grateful to Your Highness for helping me to be free. I will repay Your Highness's kindness in my next life."

"It doesn't matter."

For some reason, Qin Yu felt a mix of emotions as he watched Murong Xueqi walk away. Perhaps it was because he felt a pang of regret, since he also particularly wanted to stay away from the affairs of the court.

However, Qin Yu had no choice. More importantly, Qin Yu still possessed these tokens, which were the lifeblood of the entire country.

Mo Yun seemed to understand Qin Yu's thoughts and walked up to her, as if to tell her that no matter what happens in the future, Mo Yun will always be with her and will never go anywhere.
